Welcome to Cans for Charity

 

Our mission is simple:


Helping others and the environment.

The idea of Cans For Charity evolved out of a desire to help the world community through small, project-by-project fundraisers based on the redemption of refundable containers, and mitigating the effects of un-recycled products may have on the environment.

By collecting recyclable cans and bottles and properly disposing of them, Cans For Charity hopes to raise enough funds to make a difference in other charities.

Cans For Charity's aim is also to bring more attention to these charities, and heighten awareness to the connections that exist in our world community. A nickel, the value of a recyclable can, does not hold much value in the United States, particularly where the price of gasoline is over 3.50 U.S. dollars. However, its cumulative value, can and will have an impact on those in need, particularly in areas where the per capita income is very low.

Cans For Charity hopes to foster these connections through publishing the Cans For Charity drive and their fulfillment on our website, as well as in other medium.

Cans For Charity is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Recycling saves 95 percent of the energy required to make aluminum from ore.
 
In 1996, aluminum companies saved the equivalent of over 18.4 million barrels of oil or 10.8 billion kilowatt hours. This represents enough energy to supply the electrical needs of a city the size of Pittsburgh for about six years.
 
In 1972, 53 million pounds of aluminum were recycled. Today, we exceed that amount weekly.
